The Digital Garden on Leetsdale is a community-permaculture garden hybrid that is infused with digital media. The goal is to empower gardeners and visitors through community gardening, great programming, and digital media to learn more about sustainable living and to stimulate a diverse range of discourse
A new gardening trend in the making is digital gardens. These are community permaculture gardens that come together with digital media to create and learn about sustainability and build community. Located on Leetsdale, their goal is to have their garden as well as workshops and events to help promote eating locally and discuss our local environment. On July 17th, the Digital Garden hosted a salon talking about urban permaculture and where humans take place in the environment that we like to claim our own.

Another really awesome place that educates individuals about horticulture, beekeeping and does Yoga is the 63rd Street Farm located in Boulder. Every Thursday night they have their Community Supported Agriculture Night, where they sell their crops, like squash and organic cage free eggs or teas that are locally made in Colorado. Their website is : http://www.63rdstfarm.com
There are so many options now when it comes to finding local foods and fresh foods to eliminate greenhouse gasses and the dependency of oil and to support where you live! If you are interested in buying or volunteering for a farm or feel like gardening but do not have the space, there are many options. All one could do is to search which ones are closest to you and when a good time is to pick up or volunteer to help them with various services. I hope this helps you in your search or interest of keeping your mind, body and spirit healthy and educating friends and yourself about different types of ways to help our earth.
